Gear Selection
The first step to fly fishing for Arctic grayling is to select the right gear. You will need a fly rod that is 7-9 feet long and has a weight of 4-6. A medium-action rod is a good choice for most grayling fishing. You will also need a reel that is matched to your rod. A good reel will have a drag system that is smooth and reliable.
When it comes to fly line, you will need a floating line or a sinking line. A floating line is a good choice for fishing in shallow water or on the surface. A sinking line is a good choice for fishing in deeper water or in faster currents. You will also need a leader that is 7-9 feet long and has a tippet size of 4-6.
Finally, you will need a selection of flies. Grayling are opportunistic feeders, so they will eat a variety of flies. Some of the most popular flies for grayling include the Royal Wulff, the Adams, and the Elk Hair Caddis. You should also carry a selection of nymphs and streamers.

- Adams

The best fly pattern to use will depend on the conditions. If the water is clear and shallow, a dry fly is a good choice. If the water is deeper or faster, a nymph or streamer is a better choice. You should also experiment with different colors and sizes of flies until you find what the fish are eating.

There are a variety of techniques that can be used to catch Arctic grayling. Some of the most effective techniques include:
- Dry Fly Fishing
